MY Programs Agricultural Land Reform Code • One of my greatest achievements. • I instituted a public land clearance program to make new farmlands available for immediate use. • Goal: To establish owner – cultivator ship and the economic family – size farm as the basis of Philippine agriculture, and as a consequence, divert landlord capital in agriculture to industrial development; • To create a truly viable social and economic structure in agriculture conducive to greater productivity and higher farm incomes; • To provide a more vigorous and systematic land resettlement program and public land distribution; • Change the traditional share tenancy to lease hold system • The tenant would give 25% of their harvest as payment Emergency Employment Administration • It was patterned after a similar employment program of United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt during America’s great depression in the 1930’s. • Purpose: stated on Section 2 which says “It is hereby declared to be the continuing policy and responsibility of the State to utilize every possible means to create maximum employment opportunities for all who are able, willing and seeking to work but cannot find employment, thus increasing mass purchasing power, developing income in rural areas, and stimulating economic activity in general.” • What this law basically does is to create and offer job opportunities to Filipinos who are seeking or in need of employment. Philippine Industry • The law abolished share tenancy on rice and corn farmlands, and established a leasehold system in which farmers paid fixed rentals to landlords, rather than a percentage of the harvest. SABAH • Bordered by Sarawak on its southwestern side, and Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) to the south. • It was said the Sabah was a gift to the Sultanate of Sulu from the Sultan of Brueni. • A gift for helping the Sultan of Brunei fight against his enemies. • During President Diosdado Macapagal’s administration, the Philippines formally claimed Sabah based on the Sultanate of Sulu heirs’ claim on the territory. • The Philippines broke diplomatic relations with Malaysia after the federation have included “Sabah”. • The Sultan’s heirs have given the Philippine government the authority to pursue the claim legally in international courts. • The succeeding administrations have either have ignored or set aside the claim for peaceful co-existent and trade relation with the Malaysians. MAPHILINDO • And organization composed of Southeast Asian countries particularly the Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. • Purpose: to boost our country’s trade with our neighbors. • The organization also have way to the making of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or better known as ASEAN. Independence Day • Through an executive order, I changed the date of indep. From the july 4, chosen date of the Americans, to june 12, the day when Aguinaldo proclaimed the country’s independence in Kawit, Cavite. • July 4 is now the Philippine-American Friendship day. Filipino Language • I declared the Filipino Language as our National language.
